Fighting a losing battle

Any of you ever fight a losing battle; it could be as simple as a sports competition to something as serious as an addiction. On the lesser side, I have played on some teams that really took some beatings. One team in particular opened the season with loses of 41 - 0 and 31 - 2. We were on the field but boy were we fighting a losing battle.

On the more serious side, I have friends that have battled things most of their lives and have found themselves continually defeated. Maybe you are fighting something today that just seems impossible. Maybe you have been fighting for years and years and still end up defeated time and time again. Maybe when we find ourselves coming up short, we should evaluate Who is in charge...

Today's word comes from 2 Chronicles 20:15, NIV, which reads, "This is what the LORD says to you, 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because...the battle is not yours, but GOD'S."

We are all going to have those battles that seem to defeat us. We are all going to have those battles that seem continual. We are all going to have those battles that seem ever losing. We can all rest assured, however, that we will not be eternally defeated if we will allow GOD to fight the battle. It is when we decide to lead the charge that we so often find ourselves defeated.

Don't quit fighting, the battle is GOD'S! And, with GOD fighting our fight, we can NEVER lose!

Be Blessed,
